- The idea of belt conveyor is based on the presence of a metal object with a rotating reel on which a leather belt is carried in the required direction, which in turn carries the product to be transported.
- The advantage of conveying by belts is the provision of manpower and ease of maintenance.
- Belts are usually divided into three types:
1- Loading belts: which lift products and raw materials to cars, and the height of the belt is controlled by a hydraulic lifting unit or a winch.
2- Transportation belts: which transport products from one place to another, whether horizontal or diagonal, and are installed at the required height, and they are the simplest types of belts.
3- Packing belts: They are not different from transportation belts, but they are linked to packing machines.
